Orbe’s geolocation technology is designed to remember your customers’ country and language preferences. This ensures that once a customer selects their preferences, they won’t be prompted again on future visits. Additionally, if a customer ends up on the wrong country version of your site, Orbe will automatically guide them back to the correct experience based on their saved preferences.

To keep these preferences updated, it’s essential to offer customers a way to select their country (and language, if applicable) with a selector that’s integrated with Orbe. This integration ensures that any changes are stored properly and applied in future visits.

Why integration with Orbe is important?

If the selector is not integrated with Orbe, customer changes won’t be saved correctly. This can cause issues when customers try to switch their country or language, as Orbe may continue to redirect them based on old preferences.

For an effective geolocation strategy, it’s important to integrate your country and language selectors with Orbe. That’s why Orbe provides different options to help you do this easily and with your preferred selector. Choose the type of selector you’d like to use:
